The undergraduates of JSC SO UES became the best at SamSTU

At Samara State Technical University (The qualifying round of the V International Engineering Case Solving Championship in the Electric Power Industry League took place. Four students, participants of the specialized training program of JSC SO UES, became the winners of the regional stage and will represent the Samara region in the final of the championship. «Case-in" at the end of May 2017 in Moscow.

In the league «Electric Power Industry" 13 teams competed, formed from undergraduate and graduate students of SamSTU. During the tour, participants were offered a case study to solve «Corona discharge" — by the name of the effect, arising on high-voltage power transmission lines. It was necessary to analyze the annual structure of technical losses of electricity in 220 and 500 kV transmission lines., departing from Alexandrovskaya GRES in Orenburg region, calculate the financial costs of electricity losses, to develop an innovative program of technical measures to reduce corona losses during the output of power from GRES.

The first two prizes were taken by the teams, which included undergraduates from SamSTU, participants of the specialized training program of JSC SO UES "Management of modes of electric power systems". The engineering solution of the team was recognized as the best «Energy"(Isakov Vladislav, Alexander Rakhaev, Dolginin Victor — undergraduates, Anastasia Yudina, a 3rd—year student at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering of SamSTU, is studying under the program of JSC SO UES. The second place was taken by the team «Re-enabling" (Alexander Shchobak, Diana Rumanova — undergraduates,students enrolled in the program of JSC "SO UES", Daria Trifonova — graduate student, undergoing training in the direction of «Electric Power Engineering and Electrical Engineering", Veronika Salnikova is a 4th—year student at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering of SamSTU). The third place is given to the team «Light Bulbs", consisting of 3rd year students of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering of SamSTU (Artem Grebennikov, Davlikamova Elmira, Ovsyannikov Alexey, Mutalova Diana).

In 2017, 47 leading technical universities from 35 regions of Russia and CIS countries are taking part in the championship. More than 3,000 students will compete for a ticket to the finals for three months.«Case-in", which will be held in Moscow on May 30-31, 2017. In the near future, the qualifying stages of the championship in the electric power industry league will be held at other partner universities of JSC SO UES.

International Engineering Championship «Case-in is Russia's only federal championship of fuel and energy and mineral resources complexes, an effective tool for transferring practical knowledge to future engineers, experience and new competencies. The championship includes five areas: electric power industry leagues, mining, geological exploration, metallurgy, oil and gas business. In the final, the winning teams of the qualifying stages of each league will compete for the title of the best engineering student teams., who will have the opportunity to complete internships and internships in leading industry companies. The winners of the Electric Power Industry League will take part in the annual summer educational forum «The energy of youth."

The organizers of the championship «Case-in" The Foundation performs «Reliable Change and Non-Commercial Partnership «Youth Forum of Mining Leaders". The event is supported by five federal ministries − the Ministry of Energy of the Russian Federation., Ministry of Natural Resources and Ecology of the Russian Federation, Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation,Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of the Russian Federation, Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation, as well as the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs (Rosmolodezh) and the Agency for Strategic Initiatives to promote New Projects.
